Depth:
Comprehensive, covering everything from basic checks to full engine and transmission rebuilds, including detailed torque specifications and tolerances.
Engine Type:
Single-cylinder, four-stroke, liquid-cooled
Displacement:
Approximately 576cc (often referred to as 610cc).
Bore X Stroke:
Specifications vary slightly, but common for this era would be around 92mm x 87mm.
Compression Ratio:
Typically around 10.5:1 to 11.5:1.
Horsepower:
Estimated 40-45 HP (at crankshaft, depending on specific tune and emissions).
Torque:
Estimated 35-40 Nm (at crankshaft, depending on specific tune).
Carburetor Type:

Approximately 1.5-1.8 liters (check manual for exact capacity).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors (50/50 mix with distilled water).
Carburetor Tuning:
Carburetors can sometimes require fine-tuning due to altitude or temperature changes; jetting kits are common upgrades.
Fork Seals:
Like many performance motorcycles of this era, fork seal leaks can occur and require replacement.
Electrical Connections:
Corrosion on electrical connectors can sometimes lead to intermittent issues, especially in off-road use.
Origin:
Husqvarna Motorcycles, founded in Sweden in 1689, with a long and storied history in motorcycle manufacturing, particularly in off-road disciplines.
Te Sm Lineage:
The TE610 and SM610 models represent a continuation of Husqvarna's successful range of off-road and enduro motorcycles, adapted for supermoto use.
Manufacturing Location:
Primarily manufactured in Italy during this period under ownership by Cagiva Group.
